Highmaul Role Guides

In addition to our detailed Highmaul strategy guides which highlight tips for tanks, dps, and healers, we've got a new series of guides specifically aimed towards each role in Highmaul Normal, although many of the quick tips help for LFR as well.

These guides cover just the basics for tanks, melee dps, healers, and ranged dps so you know what are the most harmful parts of the fight.

With the opening of Highmaul this week, we wanted to hold a giveaway to celebrate the start of Warlords raiding and also provide a short and sweet summary of all the dungeon and raid guides on Wowhead! We're very excited to introduce these types of guides on Wowhead, so we're giving away a Magic Rooster Egg!

Highmaul Guides

Wowhead's detailed Highmaul strategy guides include a summary of each boss and tricky trash pulls as well as advice for tanks, healers, and DPS covering all difficulties--LFR, Normal, Heroic, Mythic. We've also summarized loot and important rewards from all bosses.

Dungeon Guides

Wowhead's dungeon strategy guides include a summary of each boss, information on tricky trash pulls, and additional details on heroic and challenge mode difficulties. We also summarize loot from each boss as loot tables are very confusing in Warlords of Draenor, as well as any vanity rewards or followers you can acquire from Garrison quests.

December 2nd is a huge day for new Warlords of Draenor content—Tier 17 raiding and Warlords Season 16 PvP begins. In addition, new world bosses, Apexis Crystal gear vendors, and Seal of Tempered Fate are accessible. There were also significant hotfixes posted late in the evening of December 2nd and Champion's Treadblade is now available to purchase!

This guide provides an overview of all the new content available and links to Wowhead’s past in-depth coverage on this content.

Highmaul Normal and Heroic

Tier 17 raiding begins with Highmaul open on Normal and Heroic difficulty!

We’ve published a series of strategy guides covering all bosses and tricky trash:

Upcoming Dungeon Changes and Hotfixes

Warlords dungeon loot is reverting to Need before Greed instead of personal loot. Queueing with a premade group still allows you to enable the personal loot option.

50 Garrison Resources are awarded for completing your first random Warlords Heroic Dungeon of the day.

There is a hotfix preventing people from queueing in PvP areas to avoid scaling gear up to boost ilvl requirements. However, this incorrectly affected Stormshield and Warspear, so a fix is being looked at.

Warcraft Accounts Automatically Upgraded

This guide covers all the content and system updates coming in the Warlords of Draenor prepatch--before the expansion hits.

The Warlords of Draenor prepatch is coming on October 14th. This patch contains many system and UI changes for Warlords of Draenor--you just can’t access Draenor content or level to 100. You can access things in the prepatch like new character models, the 6.0 prelaunch event, the Toy Box, and new raid difficulties.

The prepatch also removes some Mists of Pandaria content, such as starting the legendary questline, finishing MoP Challenge Modes, obtaining the Reins of the Kor'kron War Wolf, and purchasing heirlooms for Justice Points. We’ve put together a guide documenting everything that’s going away if you want to obtain some vanity gear and achievements before it’s too late!
